But that creates a feedback loop. When I visit a dealership and I only see black, white, and silver vehicles, I can only conclude either that is all they order or the other colors sell out as soon as they arrive. If the former, then they don't have any sales data on colored cars to make that determination. If the latter, their habit of primarily ordering monotone paint simply reinforces their perceived consumer demand for monotone paint.
Funny... just looked at my local dealership's inventory online. They just got a large shipment of vehicles a couple of weeks ago, with lots of Mavericks.
OMG, I owned a Ford Fairmont back in the day. What a garbage car that was. It only started when it was in a good mood.. this picture is giving me nightmares and I'm not even asleep..The Light Blue looks nearly identical to an OG Ford color called "Futura Blue" that was available for years on Galaxies, on the Fairmont, and even on mid-eighties Escorts. It's a traditional color for Ford, that looks good on the Maverick, especially with the 17" steelies. Members of our family owned all three of the aforementioned models over the years, all in Futura Blue.
White is a popular color due to easy resale and fleet and business purchases. The more neutral colors are easier to sell than a niche color for only a few demographic.
For me, I like the light blue especially with installing vinyl stripping or design, but the resale won’t be good as there isn’t a lot of people that it would attract, therefore, it would take longer to resale causing the resale or trade in to be lower
I wasn't talking about the color.. matter of fact, the color of my Fairmont was freaking Butterscotch.
I think if you look you will find when customers are surveyed, black, white and silver-grey are most desired colors.
But I was referring to the Fairmont just being a Fairmont.
White is only overrepresented because it is a default fleet color and color most people will pick when color is last place on their priority list of things they want. It is a "safe" color to pick.
Thank you for the reply.
Love it! Thanks for sharing. Too bad this color is now only going to be offered with the too-modern looking aluminum wheels for 2027.The Light Blue looks nearly identical to an OG Ford color called "Futura Blue" that was available for years on Galaxies, on the Fairmont, and even on mid-eighties Escorts.

Considering the fact that Toyota has now gone Hybrid only on both the Camry and Rav-4 I wouldn't be surprised if their rumored Maverick competitor would also not have a straight gas option. Some rumors have also suggested that Toyota may even be developing it as pure electric only trucklet.
